Barnard Castle Prep School
The Prep School is an integral part of Barnard Castle School, having access to all its facilities and expertise.
It is situated in a separate area of the school grounds with its own organisation, staff and buildings. Pupils, therefore, have the benefit of the security of their own area while benefiting from many extras.
Prep
The atmosphere is warm, friendly and supportive. Children are encouraged to try their best in everything they do.
Pastoral
Prep School has an enviable reputation for being a friendly environment, with children developing a positive attitude towards themselves and others.
Boarding
Home from home, Old Courts provides an excellent facility highly praised in a recent Ofsted inspection.
Sport
An important part of a developing child, there are plenty of opportunities in a variety of sports.
Activities
We are proud of our wide range of extra curricular activities at Prep School; something for everyone.
We have wholeheartedly recommended Barney School to our friends. My wife and I also enjoy the developing social scene for parents and look forward to a long and developing association with the school.
